Absolutely amazing.

There's a guy out at Biggenden with a huge collection of stuff like that, including about 20 Douglas motorcycles.  There's a room full of old sewing machines, one with tractors etc etc.  He'll never sell any of it.  Will be a treasure trove for someone someday.

Does he let the public through? There are some really fabulous Douglas bikes. I just missed out on buying one on Perth about 10 years ago, kicked myself ever since for not buying it.

It seems such a waste to let it be broken up and sold. It would be good to have it as a memorial to the guy.

He certainly does.  I went through with a CMA group.  He basically let us have the run of the place.  I'd have to ask someone how to contact him, but I can point him out:

-25.512719,152.039902  in Google maps.  A streetview of his front yard will give you an idea.

Thanks Biggles, it will go on my must visit list for the next time I am in QLD.
This is a little info a friend found on the barn collection:-

Hi Glen,
 
I was bored so I did the following calculations.
 
The Auctions America web site, provided the following info. regarding the "Barn" auction last November.
 
75 cars were auctioned for a total value of $857,000.
 
A 1950 Edwards R26 Roadstar sold for $143,750 and a 1950 Veritas BMW sold for $195,500.
